Senior Indian Congress leader Digvijaya Singh urged the Modi government to present evidence of the alleged Indian Air Force’s strike on Jaish-e-Mohammed’s terror training camps in Balakot, reported Indian media outlet NDTV.

Speaking to reporters in Indore, he said, “I am not questioning the recent IAF action against Pakistan-based terrorist camps. But pictures of any incident in open space can be accessed through satellite technology. So we should also give evidence, the way the United States government presented evidence of Osama bin Laden’s killing before the world,” he said.

“I also congratulate the honourable Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan for showing us a new way of being a good neighbour and returned the brave Indian Air Force officer to us,” the Congress leader said.

The former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh also refuted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s claim that after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, the Indian Air Force (IAF) wanted to conduct a surgical strike against Pakistan, but the Congress-led UPA government nixed the idea.”I can only say that we have not seen a bigger liar than Narendra Modi,” he said.
